Finger & Thumb

A clever composer called Camille Saint-Saëns once imagined what animals would sound like if they were made into music – he thought of a growly lion and a skippy kangaroo, a clumsy elephant and a cuckooing cuckoo.

Then he wrote the pieces of music down on paper and that's how we have The Carnival of the Animals today! Specially commissioned by Junction, Finger and Thumb Theatre's brand new performance is a riot of hand shadow animals dancing, cavorting and bumping into one another accompanied by live piano music, humour and simple light magic. The audience will be seated on the floor, so please bring a cushion.

Suitable for a family audience 4 and over.

Running time - 50 minutes.
